Barr's Botched Effort To Rig SDNY For Trump Prompts Investigation | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Go get him Nadler! Put Barr in prison where he belongs!
Nadlar is a pee brain…. Like the impeachment was a total joke… Thay had absolutely nothing
when the accomplices are part of the jury and the head supreme justice just lets it slide, of course the impeachment trial turned out to be a joke played on Democracy. Not for lack of evidence, though.
For what investigating corruption. You guys need to get a grip on your emotions and stick to evidence
@Landon’s Channel nadler is so corrupt and if Berman did his job his child traffickiing would also come out.This is why these guys are so aggressive about removing trump. To coverup their crimes
Claire, Ask your man John Bolton. He seems to have plenty to say abut Trumps crimes in office,
He couldn’t even Trump up a premise for his abuse of power… Pun most definitely intended.
@Lyle Johnston But trump never said what he was recorded saying!
@Iain Herridge OK. I’ll bite. Is that sarcasm or am I supposed to ask how they recorded something he didn’t say?
@Lyle Johnston Oh, wow… 😮
Why hasn’t anyone filed a complaint with the Bar Association to REMOVE Bill Barr’s license? Barr is the Attorney General of the United States, he represents the People of America. His Conduct displays a WILLFUL Disregard for his Client. Barr has engaged in a Fraud which impedes the administration of Justice. REMOVE Barr’s License to Practice Law and Renove BARR from OFFICE he is unfit to Practice Law.
@Ann Owens No. He represents the United States.
Barr should be disbarred, and put behind bars. Impeach AG Barr.
fatman barr should have been in prison for covering up the Iran contra scandal in the 80s
The new slogan: “PUTT BARR BEHIND BARRS!!!”
N S
you go to too many bars LOL
Don the Con is stupid, Barr is not, he is just evil!
I don’t see this going anywhere unless the House starts exercising their power to imprison…
You need a civics lesson. The house doesn’t have that kind of power. Get an education before you post.
@ron Richardson It hasn’t been exercised for maybe a hundred years, but they do have that kind of power! The Sergeant at Arms can be ordered to execute an arrest for failure to heed certain lawful actions by Congress! There is no bail!
@Ken Quarles congress is the key word here . That’s means it has to be approved by the senate. The house alone cant arrest anyone. They can bring charges but have no power enforce arrests.
@ron Richardson It’s called The “Power of inherent contempt!” It can be exercised by either chamber of Congress, without the express consent from the other chamber!
Senate Republicans are a bunch of b*tches
The GOP has received money from Russia and several other countries. The entire Republican party’s high level members are corrupt. That is the only reason that they have been covering for him up to now. They are covering for themselves.
The Democrat party is dangerous and violent and when they lose in November 2020 they will become more violent. Democrats can’t handle losing
BOTH owned by the military industrial complex
@Gwen Cassel Could you explain to us in PSYCHO TRUMP 2nd year in Office as to why did several REPUBLICANS made a trip to Russia? It was strange that, it was all REPUBLICAN representatives from the House and Senate.
msnbc has misinformed you because actually the dnc is involved in selling uranium to the Russians. Do the research.Berman covers up for the dnc and therefore had a conflict of interest as well as covering up the jeffery epstien case which is connected to the clintons being involve din child trafficking and adrenachrome.All this evidnce is covered up by berman and that leads to berman in a possible rico action against himself. Always look at evidnce
If Trump goes down, they go down. That is exactly why they are all defending and protecting him every chance they have.
I guess these people think that by getting rid of the people investigating Trump, the investigations would somehow disappear. oops indeed.
COMEY Strozk Etc Both ways this is confusing. Rod Rosenstein is the “character” i want to explore.
Oops or actually effective!? You guys have a dictatorial clown running the show. Still. Think that’s by accident?
Like virus will disapear , if they stop testing
@sol029 to be fair the whole system has been corrupt for a very long time. They have just never been so blatantly obvious about it until now.
I know! Their brains do not register that the files are in other’s hands now and will proceed!
Who will stop these criminals? We have no Justice Department living. We do have a scammer bunch of crooks. Who will stop these thugs?
The voters, keep the House, take the Senate and the Presidency.
With a large enough majority in Congress then actual servants of the people will be more free root out the corrupt and incompetent installed during this presidency.
The Senators and Representatives the Democrats have the less they have to listen to Republicans to get things done.
@Thomas Parkin But…the presidential race is determined by the electoral college…not the popular vote. My concern…can the electoral college be bought?
@Thomas Parkin hey Thomas, when did they let you out of Bellvue ? Stopped taking your meds I see .
SAVE US, SPIDER-MAN!!!
R Muniz – the corruption and evil is so horrendous that only the One with omnipotent power can, and will, destroy it, at His appointed time. God sees all that devil trump and his band of thugs are doing. He also sees all the suffering, cries with us and will intervene. Matthew 11:28. Comfort and courage to all my suffering fellow humanity. 😢
Listen, let’s be honest, Barr is as crooked as they come. I’m still trying to figure out why he showed up at the prison to speak with Epstein…corruption started at the top…
Threat.
@Mary Thomas You should still try to spell his name right. Not nice attack someone when you dont even know his name.
@Gerald Hackett MUST BE CLOSE ENOUGH IF YOU KNOW TO WHOM I’M REFERRING. IF YOU CALL THIS AN ATTACK, WHAT DO YOU CALL WHAT HE DID TO THOSE UNDERAGE GIRLS?
JEFFREY EDWARD EPSTIN(E)
😂😃😒😢😘😜
@Mary Thomas Not hard to figure it out, but you are still spelling it wrong. And you are right what he did was horrible, but he wasn’t alone and hopefully some of those will pay for it. Bill Clinton comes to mind.
@Gerald Hackett DONALD JOHN TRUMP COMES TO MIND FOR ME! I NOTICE YOU DON’T EVEN USE HIS NAME.
JEFFREY EDWARD EPSTEIN
OK
At this point, there should be plenty of evidence to put away Trump and Barr (and others) for a long time. Can’t wait to see it! 🇺🇲🇺🇲 BIDEN 2020🇺🇲🇺🇲
@Gwen Cassel maybe our government shouldnt have forced so many low income people into such a small area. Learn some history on why minorities ended up in inner cities and ghettos and how hard it is to get out
@Marc Milton-Talbot – President Drumpf will pardon him before he leaves office.
I’m with you!
MYSELF MORE FYAH
@The Alpengeist Oops your bot accidentally posted the wrong copy-paste propaganda point to the wrong thread. This one is about Barr and Trump going to jail, not about gang violence in Chicago and it’s complete lack of relation to a movement regarding Police Brutality.
The stink on capitol hill will take YEARS to get rid of. This whole government is in it for themselves. Might be a good idea to build a new prison. Going to have lots of occupants, me thinks!!!
Yeah, O-Dummer had 8 years to stink it up and its going to take about that long to put all the swamp rats in prison
The white house and con-gress has become the deep swamp that donkey dumpf promised in 2016 to empty and instead now donkey dumpf is actually is now drowning in it
jay bomb
news flash, the voters put them there LOL Stink sticks to everyone , you think?
@Alex Hamilton well thought out, and you are exactly right. Voters ARE the problem. We need a minimal IQ score to qualify for a voter ID card. Unless your a dumbocrat who thinks its OK for dead people and illegals to vote.
@ron Richardson Deaf,dumb. and blind!
How American Bar Association let Barr do whatever he wants to do..?
@Gwen Cassel yes, but… he should lose his law license. He might still be AG but would be discredited by his peers
https://www.change.org/p/district-of-columbia-american-bar-association-disbar-attorney-general-william-p-barr-4abc4f8b-6ff6-46d3-97d4-d540507f65e5
Lars Jones i just signed up. Would it work to disbar the jerk?
@jen monami It would help to discredit him for sure making impeachment more likely?
Barr does what the law allows unlike
Killary and bill clinton who both were disbarred and lost their license to practice law.
Trump’s last minute cleanup efforts to get rid of any investigations into him while he’s still president before the next election. Being president is the only thing keeping him out of jail!
That’s why he’ll do ANYTHING to win, he’s a danger to democracy.
And his rally’s let him know hes not gonna stand a chance in the next one
monokai mook
so he will have 4 more years of freedom I guess LOL
I hope I live long enough to see Cheeto, Barr, McTurtle, Lady L behind bars.
and should not be possible. Presidential candidates need bloody vetting prior to swearing in.
A president who fired independent prosecutors investigating his mates. The latest addition to the never-ending list of “What would Republicans have done if Obama did this?”.
@David Gray The entire Republican Party is his ‘get-out-of-jail card’ – and Fox News. But it is falling apart…..
@it’s. creepy really! theres a cure. CNN REALLY ! ANDERSON IS A CIA OPERATIVE
We already know the Repuglicans would have lost their minds. They have shown themselves to be HYPOCRITES
@Don Turco William Barr is not the President.
midknight RIP-USA-1776-2008….. the Obama legacy and the godless uneducated children , rachelle madcow, protesting about scruples they know very little of.infecting more of themselves with covid. Real smart!
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ag Barr had Epstein killed to cover up trump’s sexual habits.
@Ruthanne Perry correct
@Randy Gillespie heaps of them, the rabbit hole goes to the FBI, CIA, presidents past, and present, royalty, not just Andrew, Saudi and other foreign royals. Heaps of movie stars, heaps of politicians, lawyers, huge names, right around the world.
NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT MAFIA/MOBSTER RACIST RAT SNAKE WEAK WILLIAM BARR.
It is a strong possibility. But a lot of rich people had the same motive. Kinda like murder on the orient express.
Me either!
Astonishing how these high profile people risk their future for Trump.
They don’t have a future
BECAUSE THEY’RE WEAK MAFIA/MOBSTER RACIST REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT PARTY AND ADMINSTRATION INSIDE CSI CRIME SCENE WHITE HOUSE AND OVAL OFFICE.
I agree.
Hey ask Melania how many times trump pimps her out After all she was bought and paid for by the king of the perverts
They’ll do whatever they feel is necessary to maintain power. Did it before Trump. Will do it after.
WHAT IS THE REASON THAT HE HAD TO GO?
GIVE ME JUST ONE REASON.
BARR AND TRUMP NEVER GIVEN ANWSER FOR THAT.
They will just replace the deputy with whoever they want. Jesus Christ I can’t deal
They can’t until the Senate confirms the new one and there is no Democrats that will budge so it was indeed a HUGE BOTCH
The walls are closing in on Bill “Fred Flintstone” Barr.
That’s what I call him also. He looks just like him. Just not as cute.
Follow Rachel, she’s like buying long on a blue chip stock!
If this was Obama’s AG, Republicans would be losing their minds.
Trump/Barr, haven’t been 100% PUTINized. YET! Geoff Berman is Alive and Well.
No Mysterious Accident?
No Bogus Suicide?
No Accidental Poisoning or Death by Corona
